today's date: 5-14-23. Just changed mine on 2006 jeep grand cherokee two days ago. Used a long funnel, trimmed the top to fit the cv joint, then boiled a pot of water, removed from heat and tossed in boot for 20-30 minutes. Worked great. Be sure and turn boot inside out, take large end and pull over funnel all the way, then when you pull boot back toward you, it unfolds itself, outside out...
The tool is definitely a easier way to go, but you installed a new boot on a birty and contaminated bearing. I like the tool for a fast fix but I'll still remove the joint Clean,inspect, and re lube it.
Did I see the ABS pick up ring on the Hub end? it appeared to smothered in the additional grease & Grime from use & the repair?? would this impede on the ABS functionality? I suspect it could be a potential safety issue?
Remove track rod end. Remove lower ball joint. Remove axle. Simples! Everyone else removes the vertical connecting bar and the brake assembly!! You've just shown you don't need to! Or am I missing something??
No way would I ever hit the threaded end of the axel with a hammer, maybe a brass hammer, never a hardened steel hammer. yer asking for screwed up threads or an expanded end. But hey.

Very good work done big brother, you are having so much fun watching me too
Thank you very much i just replaced my cv axil boot on my minivan three days ago using your trick with the cola bottle to extend the tool
can you tell me about the trick?
Bro wtf this would have saved me so much time, so many of times😩
Very good work friend ☺️
Cool nice job
Would only work for soft boots that don’t last long. Hard plastic boots will not stretch like that
Bowl of warm water and always clean grease away from the boot seating faces before putting clips on
My friends, what price an mechanic want to change an CV BOOT in USA AND Europe ? Some can reply me ?
Hitting end of shaft with welding hammer risky business

Just wipe the grease off so debris doesn’t collect around it. It’ll be absolutely fine
how much psi is needed?
If going the easy route why not just use an easy boot?
Price of boot machine and name and where to get
ни рулевой ни шаровую можно было не откручивать а открутить только амортизатор и все нормально вытаскивается
Nobody does this anymore axle shaft is 50 bucks last one i did was in 1993
i just use split boots no bother
